Announced it would immediately deploy a team of specialists when a hospital confirmed an ebola case. The change comes amid criticism over how when the hospital confirmed the case. The situation how it is handled the situation in dallas. I got it. I wish we are had put a team like this on the ground the day the patient, the first patient was diagnosed. That might have prevented this infection. But we will do that from today onward with any case anywhere in the u. S. Meanwhile, nina pham is listed in Good Condition a. Union on behalf of several nurses is criticizing the facility after the virus was spread there. National nurses united claims there was no system if place to treat ebola patients and nurses did not have protective gear. The hospital, however, says it has numerous Safety Measures in place and will respond to employee concerns. Meanwhile, there is a grim warning from the World Health Organization which says there could be 10,000 new cases of ebola per week. Within two months, a few poll shows more than twothirds of americans say they support restricting travel from the ebolainfected countries in africa. Before we get an update from democracy, joe, why dont you jump in right there . I talked about this weeks ago, raised questions about whether the cdc was doing everything they can do. What the World Health Organization has done, remember in april, rot though, it was the organization telling us about 10,000 cases a week by december if this isnt contained. Six months ago, it was saying it was much ado about nothing. Weeks ago, you had the cdc accusing the head doctor if Doctors Without Borders of trying to panic, of being too panicked and too pessimistic. It seems to me, mica, as this is spread, any time anybody has raised any questions, daring to question medical authorities that, somehow that equals stirring panic. It doesnt equal stirring panic. 67 of americans have a reason to ask why we havent had tougher travel restrictions from the start from these countries as if you are somehow zena phobic if you decide to do the same thing on a larger scale to protect americans as that businessman did if sierraly own kept his district completely free of this disease. We are going to have to be able to ask tough questions without mindless chatterers on cable fuse and broadcast fuse and mindless editorial writers saying you are causing panic. As i said, sometimes fear is the appropriate response. I wish george w. Bush had more fears before 911 about the reports from the cia. I wish barak obama would have been more fearful before taking our troops out of iraq him we have to ask tough questions. Now the democracy hospital admitted they crew screwed up. The cdc admitted they screwed up. The World Health Organization said they have screwed up. We cant just sit back and say you know what, lets just trust the authorities. I never heard so many authorities say, hey, lets just trust the authorities and not ask tough questions. We keep hearing, we got it. Oh, the we had. Lets go live to mark poter if democracy. What do we know about this patient. How much concern is there that we got more on the way . Reporter hi, my car, we have a lot of concernle although, Officials Say they would not be surprised if they have another case. Coming in more than an hour ago. State health Officials Sayanother Healthcare Worker here at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital has tested positive for ebola. Those test results coming at midnight from a lab in austin, texas. They will take those tests to the cdc for confirmation. This is an Unidentified Health Care worker. We do not know if it was a man or a woman that cared for Thomas Eric Duncan the first ebola patient that died a week ago toda today. The patient late eest patient presented himself or herself complaining of a fever. Now we have these results. The patient was interviewed upon possible contacts. They will be monitored depending on their circumstance. We know about nina pham the first nurse who presented symptoms on friday. Her test results came up midnight or late sea. She is now being treated. She is said to be in Good Condition. There are 76 patients they are looking at now who had contact with duncan being monitored. I guess the question is, willie, of the ones that should be in isolation, there may be more that need to be put into isolation and watched. And the way they treated ebola in the hospital, it was completely on the fly, they were adding layers. The people at the top of the cdc were saying, our system can handle this. I dont know, would you expect every hospital large or small in the United States be ready for ebola . Perhaps no. We hope they will get to the strike teams that can reson quickly. For the, if you have ever been to an e. Rchl, most of us have, you know the chaos and the heroics that happen in there. Im not surprised. But we are certainly learning the hard way. In just a few hours, president obama will meet by Video Conference with european leaders amid growing questions about theUnited States strategy to defeat Islamic State militants. President obama sat down with top defense officials yesterday as american officials encyst the military maigs mission is working. But turkey is complicateing matters by bombing kurdish rebels inside its own country while resisting pressure to attack isis. Ignacious writes in the Washington Post president obama is facing growing pressure to expand military operations before isis makes additional gains. Ignacious says secretary kerry says president obama faces a quote fundamental question of how to carry out his pledge of degrading and destroying isis and the brand few nbc wall street journal poll shows more than 40 pshs of americans both support the use of airstrikes and american combat troops a. Reversal from just one month ago. Joe. If you look at davidic nacious column, this president
is getting pressured from all sides to step it up. Actually send more ground troops, send the ground troops. Do many other things, he just doesnt want to do right now. I think for good reason after a decade of sending american men and women to combat. A lot of us are concerned about that. Right now, hes engaged if tough war. The first problem is these seed issues, you have turkey, of course, bombing the people that can be boots oak. The worst allie. I cant imagine turkey to be worse of an allie than they have been right now. Then of course, you have assad also conducting bombing operations, using this inside of syria as an opportunity to kill some of his resistance. It is a terrible situation. You also have a dire warning from the front page of the New York Times. A warning not from the times but a warning from history, arming rebel troops and hoping it will turn out well rarely turns out well. When you have the secretary of state, you have a man very isolated and alone. And more of that coming up in papers. Lets get to politics. A new poll of caucus voters shows the gop is flux, while the democrats seemingly sold. Mitt romney leaves the potential field. Chris christie and jeb bush barely register. For the democrats, Hillary Clinton is way out front. The next closest is Elizabeth Warren who is 43 points back. Earlier this week, enron told
the New York Times not only are mitt and i done, but the kids are done, done, done, done. Four times also, day later she seems a little less adamant. You have seen this sometimes. How is the Washington Post . Honestly, we have no plans, i dont imagine circumstances changing. As for jeb bushs wife the former Florida Governor says she is close to florida for a possible run. How important are the spouses chiming in . Well, have you two Different Things happening, jeb bush is going around, hearing from a lot of people that they cant support him if his family is not all in. Jeb, of course, is not going to run if his family is not all in. Jeb bush is somebody that has hated politics from the second he got into politics is certainly a signal that jeb bush may be getting closer to running in this race. I think what was so stunning,
though, is if you look at the polls, willie geist, look at those polls and in the top tier, even on our top screen, you dont have jeb bush, or Chris Christie and other polls that have been out this week, jeb bush trailing far behind where even mitt romney is. I think right now mitt rom fi, willie, is the candidate at least from the establishment when of the Party Winning in iowa, winning in New Hampshire easily, winning nationally. Pretty stunning. Jeb bush at 4 in iowa. It is. Michael steel, you have to go far down that list that people inside the bellway are talking about, people like jeb bush, people like Chris Christie. I think thats why mitt romneys kaim name comes up. You think at least there would be one or two front runners. But will is still a lot of uncertainty, a year or so away
from when the campaign is. Thats not to be surprised. You have a lot of people still sitling on the side lines, even the today, you know, infamous ones like Chris Christie and rand paul havent officially put together the formation, except rand palm has organization and the various states. The reality is this is beginning now to shape itself out. Come november 5th, the day after the election, this thing is on him then you will begin to see stomachtist gel around a particular candidate him up to this point, the kind of makes sense to me it is where it is the polls are showing where they are showing, mitt romney is in the lead because no one else is there to fill that gap. Except you have jeb bush, a guy 100 of voters see sitting at 4 . I think for jeb bush and Chris Christie, 5 points behind dr. Ben cashson, a guy who like compares america to nazi
germany. Obamas america, i guess, i should say. Right. The establishment not doing very well right now and i think 4 for jeb bush is new. What i think also, joe, if i could real quick. I think what you will see get played out. You talked about the i talked about this, the conservatives in the party really do want a conservative. There is that internal battle that will get worked out. Whether or not this time they nom night the right conservative. Can i take a contaxpayerian point of view, it would be this this poll and other polls ranking candidates strength at this particular point in time are meaningless him people are worried about ebola. They were worried about a war in the middle east. Theyre worried about the fact that they havent had an increase in takehome pay in three or four or if years. You rank let me add on to that maybe those, right now were staring
at two ridiculously scary things, isis and ebola. Twothirds of americans say the country is going in the wrong direction. There is a psychological reason to go to mitt rom fiand that is wow. Amen. We get to do a doover. He was right about syria, he was right about a lot of things. Oh, things can be okay if i just get a doover. Hey, donny. I think there is a big cycle i late to say this, donny, i hate to say this, donny, you are dead right. There is a rev. Why mitt romney has come out of nowhere. These are bright times for Young Millennials right now about to go to slope after playing xbox all night and streaming music on spotify, you may not remember, but we only elected a certain kind of leader when the soviets
existed and we had to elect somebody with their finger on the bomb. You know who those type of people were . They were like mitt romney. We didnt giveadamn whether somebody was excited. We didnt giveadamn whether they talked about hope or change, whether they could play saxophone on arsinio hall. We didnt care. Donny, you are really on to something. There is a reason why a guy who seems dull and boring and stiff and cant be glib on the campaign trail suddenly is popping up in the polls. We need somebody like romney who has actually run something before and isnt going to be marketed like a pepsi or like some spark food, mica. This may actually ironic enough like Ronald Reagans time a guy seen as a joke up until the night he won in a historic
landslide. Things are very frightening right now. We need competence. Think about what Michael Dukakis said, thats what we need in 2014. Americans want competency. Mitt romney is competent. This is a water shed moment, its never uttered, 6 00 am october 13th, joe said, donny, you are right. Like i said, these are dangerous times. Yes, they are. You are lucky you are not sit riekt here. I think too team needs you. Let me get this next story, they are pulling funding away from allison griernlgs instead the campaign is putting millions into battle grounds, georgia, south dakota. Grimes had a rough week after avoiding questions of what she
voted for if previous elections. Did you vote for president obama in 282012 . You know, this election isnt about the president. Its about making sure we put kentuckians back to work. Why are you reluctant to give an answer on whether or not you voted for president obama . Bill, there is for the reluctancy. This is a matter of principle. Our constitution grants here in kentucky the constitutional right for privacy at the ballot box. No way. Heres what she said in a documentary set to air on pond. Look. Tell me about the first time you voted, who did you vote for and what issues were most important to you . Well, i turned 18 if 1996. Unfortunately, it was after president clintons election. I hope to be able to vote for him. I got a chance, though, to vote for secretary clinton in 28. The issues then in 1996 that were at the core of the campaign
are the same issues that were fighting for today, how to make sure that we can put hard working kentuckians back to work and grow the middle class. I think the constitutional right only works when she likes it. Im confused, though, i didnt think clinton was on the ballot. The simple answer, yes, of course i voted for him but i disagree with a lot of things hes done. Heres what i believe. She had two chances. That to me dump. You cant fix that. It says something about your core. It just says a lack of constitution, whereas, basically, its okay to say, hey, i voted with him. By the way, so did most of the country. By the way, a big mistake, a, b, c, d, e, there, there was no medal. Joe, real quick. I want to say, were starting to see a few things happening politically. I have been pushing back on republicans saying this may be a big republican 84 for the past
months. Right now, though, when you wake up this morning and we were going over it at 1 00 this morning, a lot of bad news for democrats, whether its in kentucky, Mary Landreau fired her manager in louisiana. You have democrats saying theyre trying to avoid a historic defeat in the house of representatives. We said last week pat robertson, polls are showing him close or ahead by a few points. I think, you know, we always talked about, mica, how Foreign Policy doesnt rule today. The fact is that Foreign Policy has mattered this fall when president obama said Foreign Policy, whether its golfing right after beheadings, are now seemingly lost if figuring out how to respond to isis. That has been a drag on democrats. Their numbers went up after they
announced we are going to degrade and destroy isis. He was showing a burden thats there, the democrats, right now, its barak obama goes on Foreign Policy the democrats seem to be going in the polls and that can all change attorney general of course. Right now, democrats in retreat. Okay. Still ahead, there may not have been weapons of mass destruction, how u. S. Still came in contact with some piles of chemical weapons, their explosive investigation ahead. How much money do you need to be one of the wealthiest people in the world, in that half of the people . The amount will surprise you when its a bad sign for all of us. Are you ready for hillary . This tenyearold really s. Look at that. Its like one direct just showed up. You are watching morning joe. Well be right back. Ring ring . Progresso its ok that your soup tastes like my homemade. Its our slow simmered vegetables and tender white meat chicken. Apology accepted. Im watching you soup people. Make it progresso or make it yourself when laquinta. Com sends him a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes . I think the numbers speak for themselves. Im sold a selling machine ready for you alert, only at lq. Com. Its time now to take a look at the front paper. Lets do it. An incredible investigation, a sweeping piece on what it calls secret casualties of iraqs abandoned chemical weapons. Americans and iraqi troops came across thousands of warheads, shells and bombs left over from saddam husseins regime. In several case, soldiers were wound. They include pus tard agents and nerve agents destroyed while exploding them. Heres one control explosion back in 2008. Wow look at that. Oh, its mustard gas. According to times the American Public withheld word from military doctors and the troops being sent in the field. The troops were told not to tell anyone else not to tell anyone else in the first gulf war. Incredible story. The wall street journal, a new story says Global Wealth grew by 8. 3 percent last year t. U. S. Added more millionaires than any other country in the world. The report suggests if have you 03 3,650, including the value of your home, you are among the wealthiest half of the people in the world. Think of that. A tiny sliver at the top of rich people. Doctors if san diego treated an enlisted soldier for an
